AF showed :(

[tlouise]

Sorry girls, just needed a bit of a rant. It's so hard to go through this and not have anyone to talk to! I was really hoping that this was the month for us. Its so frustrating for me because my cycles are soo long, and irregular. Usually between 45-50 days. This last one is the longest yet at 57 days. It kills me to know that I might have to wait 45 days to even ovulate again. I have to buy OPK's by the 100's to predict ovulation because cm is not a good enough sigh for me. It's getting really hard, NINE family members/close friends are having babies/had babies this year. All of them fell pregnant straight away. I just assumed that it would happen for me. We started trying as soon as we got married last July and I figured I would be due any day now at the time! Silly me. I know many of you have been trying much longer and my heart goes out to you girls

I did make an appt. next week to talk about my long cycles and to see if I can do anything about them. Last time I brought it up to a dr. (a different one) she told me it was totally normal and nothing was wrong. I wish I hadn't listened as I feel like I may have wasted time.

Again, sorry this was so long, but it really feels good to let it off my chest.

Hey hun...

I'm so sorry to hear about your frustrations TTC, I know it can be totally draining, especially when EVERYONE around us gets pregnant at the drop of a hat. I also had VERY long cycles, well, my AF would really only show every few months, so my doc put me on Provera to bring on AF so I wouldn't have to wait forever for it to start again, and then I took Clomid to induce ovulation, it was a miracle for me, my cycles immediately became shorter (25-28 days) and I fell pregnant with my DS the very first month I ovulated (month 3 of Provera/Clomid).

I just thought I'd share my story with you in case it was something you felt might work for you it's nice to have options so you don't have to continue to wait SO painfully long between your cycles

I am so sorry to hear that AF showed up for you!! I cant take it when that happens it is almost devestating. Especially when you "think" you are. That happened to me last month and I was shattered when AF showed up. I am currently 10dpo and hoping and praying that God blesses us this month. I am exactly like you! We got married and having been TTC since July and although it isnt too long compared to some It seems like a lifetime for me... I couldnt imagine on having long cycles on top of all the other waiting that takes place when TTC.. Its so frustrating!! I (thankfully) always had regular cycles put still have had my share of things to deal with when It comes to TTC> I always thought I would have been pregnant long before now...
But I always tell myself that I will love my baby that much more when I am blessed with one because I would have waited for it.

Hang in there and LOTS of Prayers and Baby Dust to you..
